Blimey that's some conversion! I would never have guessed that it was an ex RN minesweeper!
Many thanks

I had no idea what that was! I sometimes sit in a carpark overlooking that dock on my lunchbreak eating chips.

It does..but I thing the hull is widening at that point causing an optical illusion.
Either that or they only had Australian '2's in stock
